it take for governments and citizens

0:27

to commit to act on climate change? Why

0:29

haven't we solved the issue of equal pay

0:31

questions, but also so

0:50

many inspiring answers. My

0:54

solvable is to take energy to where

0:56

communities are. We are not going

0:58

to solve poverty in the twenty

poverty. My solvable

1:05

is to get one million women and girls to

1:10

solvable is where homelessness

is that refugees and displaced people

1:23

should have poverty rates, inequality

1:26

rates, lack of opportunity no greater

1:29

than the rest of the population. I'm

2:01

the time, I knew what we had done

2:03

in terms of cancer, We had broken

2:06

over cancer research. I didn't
